Voluntary Assistance

You can assist in many different projects throughout the year:

ER VINTERBADNING SUNDT?
Kan det virkelig være dejligt at udsætte sig selv for skræk og kulde? Svaret er overraskende ja! Flere og flere hopper i bølgen blå for at give sig selv et kuldechok og der er faktisk mange gode grunde til at hoppe i det kolde vand. Det er nemlig både opkvikkende og sundt for kroppen at få denne form for forskrækkelse!

Københavns Universitet har undersøgt, hvilken påvirkning vinterbadning har på kroppen. Og hvorfor vinterbadning er sundt? Undersøgelserne viste nemlig, at vinterbadning var godt for både krop og sjæl.

Allerede inden kroppen rammer vandet, begynder den at gøre sig klar til det kolde gys. Adrenalinniveauet stiger, og der bliver skudt en masse hvide blodlegemer ud i blodbanerne. I det kroppen kommer under vandet, så nedkøles kroppen ekstremt hurtigt, hvilket sætter gang i kroppens forsvar. Det kolde vand aktiverer immunsystemet samtidig med, at adrenalinniveauet stiger. Kuldechokket udløser en blanding af endorfiner og adrenalin, som stresser kroppen, men samtidig efterlader blandingen en lykkefølelse. Flere vinterbadere oplever, at de ligefrem føler sig helt ’høje’ af disse endorfiner, der bliver skudt ud i kroppen efter en tur i bølgerne.

Handbjerg Yacht Club
